Letters: Let's get the truth about UFOs

This letter is about the most mystifying mystery of our history on Earth. I urge our readers to take steps to convince our federal government to tell the truth about the unidentified flying objects mystery. There have been thousands of reports from the military and private citizens as well as military pilots who have verified thousands of sightings. Our government decides to lie about proven sightings as if the public is unable to take the truth and believe the facts.

For 60 years people have seen UFOs from the ground, while on planes, day or night, over land or water. They have even seen these machines go under water and disappear from sight. It is time for the public to overwhelm our government with demands that we know the truth.

We only will get the truth if millions of demands are made. When the freedom of information law was passed, many thought we would finally get the answers. What we got were reports with the key information blanked out so the report was useless.

The first UFOs I saw was in Germany on the first of April in 1945. A group of five to seven of them flew over a woods at slow speed. The Germans thought they were an American secret weapon and our GIs thought they were German fighters. Several of our men shot at them but they were not affected by our 50 caliber machine guns.

I have done much research and read about everything published and there is overwhelming proof but no truth from our Air Force. Adding insult to injury, when people report UFOs being chased by helicopters they call the closest air base. They are told that they did not send up any helicopters and what they saw were weather balloons or flares.
